My Space - office, craft, play...

A formal dining room does not get much use in our homes....
unless I turn it into "my space".
Every mom needs a place to dump and create.
(a place that is versatile for hodge podge decor with many uses)

This room is used for anything from crafting to homework.

I even store my pots and pans here on my industrial style shelving.

Our neighborhood tag sale was last weekend. I bought this small desk for $3 and spray painted it flat black.

Twinkle lights are always a happy addition to a front porch, garden or my office -
any time of year.

I nailed some left over Vine Ribbon to the bottom of my windows to clip notes.

As usual, you've got me thinking... I have a room that never gets used... maybe I need a mommy cave too. You've done such a wonderful job. Gotta see the tutorial on those burlap curtains!!! I love that you are proud of being married 19 years. I'm proud of you, too. We are 16 years and going strong... quite an accomplishment in today's world! Have a wonderful day! jules

That is such a good idea to turn your unused dining room into an office like that. That is a very cool looking floor lamp you have too! Perfect for that room. Great reuse of that little utility table. You'd never know that it used to look like that in a former life. Ha!

Good for you for making this unused space your own! And your style is stamped all over this room - love how you layer all the elements, and then throw in something unexpected, like the industrial shelving. And it works! Love it!

No offense, but I love your quirky, multi-functional space. Love the lights, the windows and vine, your pallet planter and those burlap curtains. would really like to have a creative space like that. And I think it's neat you have a place to store your pots & pans. Where do you buy "garden burlap"?

i just get all a-quiver when I hear someone got a steal on something... like the desk! Spray painting it black was a great idea. And my eyes darted over to the shelving with the large boxes marked 1,2,and 3! Lots of great ideas and thoughts went into making a space your own!!

What a great space to create in! I love the stand of white lights as well. Thank you for sharing. Visiting from French Country. Would love it if you would share this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House which goes live at 8am CST on Monday. http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com Hope to see you at the bash.
